Disabling SNMP in the TCP/IP Ports If a printer was installed when SNMP was enabled, it can be disabled in the HP Standard TCP/IP Port and the Standard TCP/IP Port: Note that though you may be able to print if SNMP is disabled at the printer but enabled in the port, you may experience print delays as the port first attempts to gather SNMP information.

Disabling SNMP in the TCP/IP Ports
If a printer was installed when SNMP was enabled, it can be disabled in the HP Standard TCP/IP Port and
the Standard TCP/IP Port:
Note that though you may be able to print if SNMP is disabled at the printer but enabled in the port, you
may experience print delays as the port first attempts to gather SNMP information. Disabling SNMP in
the port eliminates this delay.

SNMP and WebJetAdmin
WebJetadmin maintains an accurate dashboard of printer status through regular SNMP and Web
Services (Web Services Print, or WS
Print) queries:
Discovery to identify new printers joining the network
Real
time monitoring when a WJA user is monitoring a printer
Background polling to maintain status and detect failures
Daily data collections to maintain historical records
All of these activities will wake the printer from
Auto
Off
(to the
Sleep
state) but can be managed to
provide a reasonable compromise between energy savings and manageability. The following are
recommended practices:
1)
Enable SNMP on the printer and use a short (<5min) sleep timer.
2)
Terminate Real
time monitoring (i.e. user logged in to WJA and watching printer) when done.
3)
Schedule data collection for business hours.
